👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
🔪 Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
➡️ Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap.

➡️ Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
🌿 Step 2: Make the Filling
➡️ In a bowl, combine:
- Fresh spinach
- Crumbled feta cheese
➡️ Mix well until evenly combined.
➡️ The feta adds creaminess while spinach keeps it fresh and flavorful 😍
🍗 Step 3: Stuff & Roll
➡️ Spoon the spinach-feta mixture onto the center of each chicken breast.
➡️ Carefully roll the chicken tightly like a log.
➡️ Secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine so the filling stays inside.
🥚 Step 4: Bread the Rolls
➡️ Prepare 3 bowls:
- Flour
- Beaten eggs
- Breadcrumbs
➡️ Roll each chicken piece in flour first.
➡️ Dip into the eggs completely.
➡️ Coat generously in breadcrumbs for that crispy outer layer ✨
🔥 Step 5: Cook the Chicken Rolls
➡️ Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
➡️ Sear the chicken rolls on all sides until golden brown.
➡️ Transfer to a baking dish.
➡️ Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until fully cooked and crispy.
🍯 Step 6: Make the Hot Honey Glaze
➡️ In a small saucepan, combine:
- Honey
- Chili flakes
- Hot sauce
➡️ Warm gently for 1–2 minutes while stirring.
➡️ The glaze should become smooth, glossy, sweet, and spicy 🔥🍯
✨ Step 7: Finish & Serve
➡️ Remove toothpicks carefully.
➡️ Slice the chicken rolls into rounds for a beautiful presentation.
➡️ Drizzle generously with hot honey glaze.
➡️ Serve warm and enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness 😋
